include addressing such questions as: What is the history of preservation in
the United States and elsewhere in the world? How has preservation theory
evolved and where is it headed? Why preserve? What are some of the most common and most
difficult contemporary preservation challenges and issues? What preservation policy and planning strategies are effective and appropriate? How are preservation policy and planning goals addressed by professionals in the field? How can we be effective preservation
leaders?
